Research notes
The Masked costs 8,000 Screws and moves at 115% in the community wiki. Mask Up is its single listed ability: it grants a random temporary mask, changing how the killer chases. Richard is the default, not an additional power. Richter removes the red stain and intent radius, but chase music still plays; calling it completely silent would be misleading. Mask abilities are separate from cosmetic outfits.
Kit
Added 16 Mar 2025. Seven masks, not one.
The wiki associates these personal perks with this killer: Hard Swing / Combo Streak / Crackdown. Exact unlock levels and cross-killer availability were not confirmed in the cited text; check the current in-game menu before planning a purchase.
Mask Up loop and source limits
The wiki describes random mask activation with a 30-second cooldown and a one-minute duration. A May patch clarifies that cooldown starts after the ability animation, rather than immediately on activation. While changing masks, movement is hindered and interactions with survivors or props are disabled.
Suggested loop: change masks before committing to contact, inspect the result, then choose the matching approach: ambush with Richter, close distance with Brandon, contest a window with Graham, or line up Tony or Alex for an instant-down opportunity. With an ordinary basic attack, follow the hit using Combo Streak; after the chase, damage a generator to use Crackdown.
The seven rows below reproduce the names and roles in the wiki's mask table, with numerical updates from 24 October. The same page's final note instead says the knife mask is Dennis, not Jake. This name conflict is unresolved; the table label is not proof that the current client uses Jake.
Build notes
Suggested basic-attack loadout: Hard Swing + Combo Streak + Crackdown, if available. Hard Swing applies Winded for 20/25/30 seconds after a basic hit; it is not a penalty triggered by a survivor vault. Combo Streak adds 5% movement for 11/12/13 seconds after a basic hit, supporting the follow-up chase. Crackdown removes 3/6/9 extra generator charges when you damage one, giving value between chases. Do not assume special attacks such as the chainsaw trigger basic-attack perks. Replace Crackdown with Containment if repeat window routes cost more time than generator patrols. This is an editorial build with a defined attack plan, not a claim about the strongest random mask or guaranteed wins.
How survivors answer it
Identify the active mask before choosing your route. Tony trades lunge reach for an instant-down punch, so preserve distance rather than accepting a close-range trade. Alex has a windup before its instant-down charge; use obstacles to deny a clean line. Graham makes a familiar window less safe. Richter hides the radius and red stain, not the chase music. Mask swaps slow the killer and prevent interaction, creating a repositioning opportunity. Hard Swing only applies after a basic hit; repeatedly vaulting does not itself trigger it.

| Graham | Rabbit | Faster vaults; the 24 October patch sets the vault animation to 0.75 seconds. |
